ANY ideas????

Yep Dude,Good way to loose a finger,or just skin one good!~!!
You should always disconnect the battery before messing with any electric motor,servo or solenoid on a vehicle,They can get your fingers pinched!~!!
Now to answer your question,the BCM probly threw a HVAC code and went into Default until the code was cleared,You did that disconnecting the battery!
Who knows exactly why it done it,maybe sensed less current draw on the fan motor when you pulled it out.
PS The HVAC draws air from the panel behind the hood in front of the windshield!
